How long does it usually take for DIBP to contact you with a date for your citizenship test? Do they e-mail you or send a letter in the post? I've been waiting a week since I applied and still nothing...

Hey,

You will get an email for your citizenship test date. I got it in the 2nd week after applying.

My earlier post included a link to the DIBP website where you can find this information (although it didn't paste as a hyperlink). You should do some of this research yourself rather than expecting people here to give you all the information you need.

Thanks MaggieMay24. I surly do my research

Thanks blossom, I did read stuff on the immi website like they require passport and character certificate. One of friends citizenship got rejected because he didnt have proper Australian references. There are sometimes small things that can affect an application. I am gng to apply after a year and for now just making sure I have all that is needed to apply for citizenship. Can you direct me a website where I can find a proper list of stuff that I need Please.

@Rupert- No didnt hold any Australian Visa between Nov2013 and April 2014. Thanks for asking.

@ColCFC- I am in Australia now. I did google . But it is always good to take other peoples opinion and guidance before doing something. I applied for my PR without an agent and just with the help of this site. Thanks PomsinOZ.

@Seppo- Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned earlier, I am going to apply in April 2015 so yes I still got 12 months to go. But it better to be informed about such things.

Thank you Blossom, So what documents are required to apply?

Thanks for the replies. I was in Australia from Feb 2009 to Nov2013. Then in India from Nov 2013 to April 2014. Now on PR from April 2014 in Australia. Does that make me eligible to apply for citizenship on April 2015

Hey all,

I want to apply for citizenship the latest. I was on student visa between Feb 2009 till 2010 then on TR from 2010 to nov2013. I left Australian in 2013 and applied for PR from India and I am back in Australia in April 2014. I have lived in Australia approx 5 years and I got my PR offshore. When can I apply for citizenship? What are the documents required?

Can anyone please help.

Thank you.

Hey Guys.Sorry if there is a thread similar to this. I want to know after getting PR do v have to register at some government organisation like medicare or centrelink? Are there other places or organisation also? Can someone please help.

Our email from our CO also says to take the letter confirming your visa with you... just in case. He didnt' say how long it would take to update the system, he just said it didn't always work, and he'd recommend taking everythign with you.

 

Sorry i don't have a definitive answer. Someone else might know.

Thanks LEEH,

I am hoping someone would reply

Airlines confirm our visa status before they allow us to board the plane. I am just worried that with the new passport they would not be able to link our visa. I just dont want to run in to complications and delays are the airport and then trying to explain and re explain the situation. That would be really bad!!!!

I would still like to know how long does DIBP take to update the new passport details on their system. It just gives a rough idea when to book tickets to be on the safer side.

Hey all,

I want to know how much time does the immi takes to update passport details after visa is granted. I know the application process for this and form 929 but there is no mention of time they take to update.

Thanks!!

Hi 189 applicants,

I was wondering if those of you who have received e-mails/correspondence from the CO whether this is updated on your ImmiAccount page under 'My preferences' and when you click 'my correspondence'. All replies greatly appreciated.

Hey countingstars,

I did get a notification in view correspondence in immiaccount when I got the grant. I was the same correspondence that was send it me on my email id.

Hello Ebrahimmk

Can I please ask what qualification you applied to the CPA. I applied for my ACCA and the CPA and they did not recognize my work experience before I became a member. When I applies for the EOI I claimed my experience before I became a member but the CO is not recognizing that and my points have gone down from 70 to 65. DO you think this will be a problem.

Please advice

Hey ash,

I had applied with 60 points with no work experience and I was fine. Even with 60 points u will be ok. You should be more worried about you application being rejected on incorrect or false information. Still with 65 points you are eligible and CO will consider that.

Congratulations Ebrahimmk...When and where you guys moving to?

I will be moving to Brisbane. I lived there for 5 years and love it...

medicals done yesterday, woke up this morning to the visa grant letter. so so happy. we was adelaide team 4. Only had 2 emails all way through from case officer. first one to go for medicals, 2nd one for grant letter.

Congrats Shazza, Even I got the Grant today.

Thanks coolbreeze for all the help, I hope u get ur PR soon.

Cheers mate

I got the Grant. !!!!!!!!!!!! yay!

So happy, Thank you everyone for your help and support. There was no CO allocated. Direct Grant.

Can anyone tell me how can I email DIBP for a status update on my application?

If your document status is changing to 'received' - you already have a CO - if you front loaded all docs, you are just waiting for a decision on a grant. If you're that worried, just call them and ask for status update.

Thanks coolbreeze,

Is there a way I can send them an email about this? I didnt upload all the documents at first. Meds and pcc were pending, The status showed received before i uploaded my meds and pcc. Some communication from the CO would have actually helped.

Thanks Chami,

It would be really great if I get a direct grant. It has been more than a week since the status has changed and was well before I submitted my meds and PCC. I don't understand what is causing such delay and the CO didnt ask me for PCC and meds. This is causing my thinking to run wild.

Thanks Nazz for your reply,

Initially i uploaded all doc except for my meds and pcc. I uploaded my pcc yesterday. I did upload form 80 will all the docs. My status changed to "received" more than a week ago. Getting stressed.

Thanks dewi,

Yes I read about it, My new passport will arrive in 2 weeks time so will update it as soon as possible. Hopefully I get my CO appointed during that time. Is there any significance of doc status changing to "received".

Hey guys ,

Just a quick question, I am going to reissue my passport due to a few changes, can I update this after I have lodged my 189 visa application? I have applied on 31st jan and uploaded all my doc, one week back all my doc showed "reveived" status. does it mean that someone has seen them? I have not been allotted a case officer.

Thanks

Hi

 

How many points did u apply with?

 

Did u get assessed by CPA or icaa?

 

Wondering how long CPA will take to complete the assesment

Hi In3deep,

I have applied with 60 points and I got my skills assessed with CPA. CPA usually takes 2 to 4 weeks to complete the assessment.
